I could really use some new bedding. Nice bedding. I would really like to retire the bed-set my grandmother gave me. The peach, grandmotherly frills just aren't doing it for me anymore.

Cutlery. Forks. Spoons. I seem to have a shortage. I don't know where my utensils disappear too - may have something to do with having 3 boys leaving them at school. Either way, this seems to happen yearly.

Clothes. As a parent sometimes I seem to forget about clothing myself and find my wardrobe severly lacking anything up-to-date.

What are you asking Santa for this year?

    Seems like I read somewhere that you need more forks.

      Yes, it's THAT drastic I had to write about it, lol.

    As a parent I have noticed that, while my clothes are tattered and torn, my daughters clothes are new. You are not alone.

    I just want all my children home, (one is away at college and another at law school),...but maybe if Santa could possibly bring me a few good books, then that would be nice, too!

    ....a PSP!

    Haha sorry, that topic title just reminded me of Sony's bad viral marketing campaign.

    I Could use more furniture for my living room. It's a barren sight right now.

      I have 3 boys and they each have a PSP. Maybe I'll send you one of theirs so I can actually see their eyeballs once in a while, lol.
    2. ccRicers
      lol, I was only kidding. I already have a PSP, but Sony used that "all I want for Christmas..." line in a commercial that got a lot of negative reaction.

    I hope Santa sees fit to bring you some forks!

    I've discovered if there's anything I really need or want, I'd better just get it for myself.

    My family is notorious for gifts that either were damaged in the store and don't work/are half-broken but on clearance...

    Or, my dad's recent tendency, to just pull random things from the fifty-cent bin at the fleamarket to give to me.

    These are sometimes given with the phrase, "Well, what was /I/ gonna do with it?"

    Yup, it warms the heart, it does. Somewhere in the sub-cockle region.

      Haha. Excuse me for laughing but I can relate to that. One side of my family is notorious for that as well. They are in love with the Dollar Store and clearance shelf items.

      Besides that, I find it useless to even suggest something to my family because they don't take me seriously anyway. This goes way back to childhood, when my dreams of owning a puppy were crushed. I asked for a puppy one year only to wake up Christmas morning to find a "Pound Puppy" poking his head out from underneath the couch. I fail to see the humor in that.

      Secondly, and most recently, I wanted to take up guitar lessons and asked for an acoustic guitar. I got a set of pots. Hmm.

      Heh, no, laugh away-- it is totally funny. And I definitely understand what you're saying.

      For my birthday one year, my parents cobbled together a stereo for me out of an 8-track deck (note: this was in the early 90s) and a few other things...

      And then I wasn't allowed to take it with me to college because they said they enjoyed using it.

      I ended up working to buy myself a CD player.

    3. ThriftShopRomantic
      Wow. Evil's been downsized and is scaling back. Next you'll tell me you hocked the fiddle.
    4. dbowles1017
      Can you believe they only gave me 300 for it? The thing is solid gold!
    5. ThriftShopRomantic

    More money!!

    These days any present I get, I usually get the bill for it a month later, so it doesn't ever feel like I'm getting a gift.

    As long as my kids are happy, I don't care that much.

    But OK, fine. I'd love some sort of G rated toy. iphone perhaps. Maybe new tennis racquet. I know, boring!!!

    My husband asked what I want for Christmas. I said absolutely nothing. Anything that we want, we just buy throughout the year. As a result, I never know what to buy my husband for his b'day/Christmas. So we decided for Christmas to buy ourselves a 52" TV for our master bedroom and a Wii to go along with it and forgo individual gifts.

    Really there are only 2 things I care about having/doing this Christmas
    1) making a very special Christmas for my kids
    2) hosting a big Christmas party with my family and friends and also hosting a candy and ornament making lunch.

    If I didn't get any gifts, I would be totally fine.

    Wii fit....and a dooney & burke handbag.....and booty....and scratch-off lottery tickets.. =)
    1. AroundTheWaygirl
      Well I hope you get your booty! I could use Wii fit myself, 32 and feeling 90 is not cool.
    2. MidwestMom
      As long as you don't get a scratch-off booty. You'd need ointment in your stocking then.
    3. sjtavo
      LOL no, don't want any scratch-off booty - i want booty attached to a male form, preferably between the age of 22 and 27....

      Luckily, at 35, I don't feel 90, I just need to feel about 20 so i can keep up with my POAs!

    For us, Christmas is about the kids. And they have so many things they're wishing for, it's hard to keep track.

    These days I'm just wishing for them to get better from this horrible flu.

    Other than that, I'd like some peaceful time for us to enjoy together as a family. Oh, and snow... lots of snow.
  17. ekim941
    Well...um..you're pretty cute, I'll put you on my list

    In the number 2 spot would be to have a huge family Christmas party.
    1. AroundTheWaygirl
      Well, um, let's see .... do you like chicken wings and beer?
    2. ekim941
      Who doesn't?
    3. AroundTheWaygirl
      Exactly. And good answer.
